Re: Best one-man show



Because one person shows are so often connected to the original
performer (who is often also the author) they tend to get published
less.

Two of my favorites, the brilliant Quintland by Dan Hurlin and
Something, Something Uber Alles have never been published.

My favorites that are in print are:

What Ever by Heather Woodbury (10 hour long one-woman play!)
St. Nicolas by Conor McPherson
House by Daniel MacIvor 
Herringbone by (Canadian playwright--cant remember, David Rounds did
it in NYC in the early 80s)

All of these qualify as comedy and drama so.....
